Any options to replace ignition switch on 2011 300?

[rgranger]

I have an old trail tech vector that I would like to mount on my 300 with flexx bars. the only mounting option covers access to the switch. I would settle for a on/off toggle? A quick look and it seems like it is just 4 wires, lights and ignition I assume?
Thanks

I mounted mine up on the handlebar clamps. I can still get to the switch.

Just a thought.

Or you could do like this:

Not an option with the flexx bars, sadly.

there is a picture at the top of their page that illustrates the issue.

I did the same thing with my Bike Bonz, tied them together with a plate, but mine mounts my damper. Nice!

It's been a while since I've seen a Flexx bar. It looks more difficult to be sure but perhaps not impossible. Just a thought

You know, I am pretty darn lucky to have found this forum and a bunch of guys always willing to help a guy out...hey, where's my wallet?

I like the idea of the key on the side of the mount? I may need to make a pigtail to get a longer cable? Anyone know if the connectors are available from GG or Smiths?

Just make a bracket for the switch that would allow the key to be inserted from the side, behind the headlight.

BTW, real bikes don't have ignition switches.

Ouch! That must have burned a bit! LOL

My Berg must be a real bike then because it has no ignition switch either. Glad I bought the right brand.

Uh, huh, and real men don't whine about only waiting 2 months!!

Still waiting to see your Yamaha run there Robby!

Yeah, I think that 'bout covers it - why do I hang around with you guys anyway?

Moral support.

You thought you were here to win friends and influence people?

 

[rgranger]

Man, I am really bummed that I cannot ride with you guys tomorrow! I have a kids birthday party to attend. All this stuff should be postponed until after surgery so I can ride dammit!

We will think of you Rob! If we were nice all of the time you would not know how to handle that. Girard stays on my ass constantly about the "Blue" bike.

Hey what are friends for?
